Skip confirmation of Google Now request - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
In September last year, Google seemed to do away with confirmation of reminders/commands in Now (I.e. I would say "remind me at 6pm to take the bins out" and it would just do it). Now I have to confirm everything and it is super annoying to have my phone go "OK. DO YOU WANT ME TO SAVE THIS!!???" multiple times per day. Is there a way to remove the confirmation step?
Thanks

Didn't you get the Google Assistant update?

I got the update late last year, but it has since reverted back to the previous method of needing to confirm everything

Bumping this one because it's driving me insane!

I'm interesting in this too, it's very annoying to confirm a simple reminder, I'm not setting a nuclear bomb, I just want to set a reminder, just add it without confirmation!!!

Worst Android Moments

Mine was when I was at a former classmates birthday party and then I noticed my phone didnt detect my SIM card, I had to be the center of attraction on the party removing my phones back and taking out the battery, then the SIM card, then putting them back in. When it rebooted, Im glad it re-detected my SIM card. That was totally embarrassing.
When friends mess in the "CyanogenMod Settings" option..

Mine was at the time when I was beta testing a new rom...
I had to meet up my school friends...
The rom was working well...till one of my friends switched on wifi bt gps, all one after the other *JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT*
And bam! Force closes everywhere...graphic glitches, weird vibration patterns!
My friend thought he had screwed my phone...
And I had to flash a new rom in front of everyone, when all of us were supposed to enjoy...
And I lost a few apps+contacts+msgs since my backup wasn't updated...
Typed using a small touchscreen
When i first started using cynogen mod 7 and didn't read the buglist. I was supose to meet a girl somewhere and needed gps but that was a cm7 bug.. It would work and get a location when it wanted to after a few reboots sometimes it worked.. I never made it to see her but i had to flash a nightly rom to get gps to work.. So i was sad twice that night lol.

I flashed the GPS fix for the HD2 right before I went to school and give the phone to my girlfriend. Apparently, that fix caused reboots every minute. She hated the phone because it rebooted in class constantly. I wiped the ROM and reflashed and it fixed it. Lucky me lol

Amen to that :laugh:
Mine was when my phone did not receive calls once. My friend tried to call me and the call got connected, but I didn't get the call receiving screen at all nor any missed calls.
Another was when my phone suddenly started lagging in front of my friends.

I am so glad, that most of my friends dont know or are afraid of flashing. As a result, they dont know there are such options as overclocking and other things that can screw your phone.
my was when I was in school and was trying the dual boot kernel in my new s2 and it didn't boot up.......although I bought it 2 hours ago....LOL

Mine was just a couple of days ago. Wanted to show someone at work how awesome the rom was on my phone, and at that very moment it wanted to glitch, so it made me look like an idiot.
And, anytime I talk roms and rooting to my friends they look at me like I'm an idiot.
Mine still happens I just finished year 11 in the UK basically high school and my friends of course still want to keep in touch and since I'm always flashing ROMs, they are always like why don't you text or call back and I'm like I have checked my call history and my text messages it is all clear here, they think I am ignoring them.

wont activate?

anyone else having this?
it has been trying to activate for 6 hours now, just keeps re-trying
probably just so many are trying to activate right now but i have bought release day phones the last few years in a row and never had this
Mine did that all day. Once I got home and left it alone to charge for a bit, it went through a few boots and finished. I wouldn't worry about it.

They actually sent me home from the store before I noticed it. A couple of reboots today fixed it, but then it just proceeded to download all the Sprint bloatware and compleatly hosed my home screen setup. After that the "activation not complete" notice went away.

can't mobile deposit with rooted phone?

I had no issues with my HTC Evo LTE being rooted and depositing checks with the Bank of America mobile app. My galaxy 5 has pretty much been rooted since they day I got it back in May and I haven't been able to get deposits to work. The bank's mobile team reached out to help me but once they learned the device was rooted they threw their hands up and said they couldn't troubleshoot the phone because being rooted and having developer options turned on interferes with the way the app works. Has anyone ever heard of this? The app works fine other than when I take a pic of the front and back of my checks and go to deposit it keeps saying to center check in all four corners...
Ahh, so that's why I wasn't able to deposit a check lol. Did you try turning off the developer options, then trying?

No I didn't and I actually found out it has nothing to do at all with being rooted. I figured they were using that as a cop out anyways...
It boils down to their app not being calibrated correctly for the phone. If I hold the phone 2 feet away from the check then it'll work. They've updated the app about 3 times since this phone came out and I think 1 or 2 of those were supposed to be patched to fix the new phone issues. Evidently they still don't have it sorted yet.

Go into settings and toggle developer options off and reboot. After I did this, my check was deposited on the first try. When you are done you can enable developer options again.

See and I recommended that to the OP a while back and he reported it didn't take. Only if I tried out my own theory, I might have been successful! Ty

[Q] Moto G LTE reboots 8pm nightly

My Moto G LTE reboots most nights at 8:00 sharp all by itself. Does anyone know what app might cause that? I'm trying to live with it as a feature, but it is annoying, especially if I am using the phone.
The phone is unrooted. I had hoped that the recent OTA update would fix this problem but it did not.

Can you please post some screenshots of your app drawer? Maybe I can tell you which app does this.
You can also try to:
1) clear cache from recovery
2) disable the geo location before the usual time of reboot
I appreciate the reply. How do I do screenshots uprooted? I agree that knowing the apps would help.
Is the Locale app compatible? I use it with the Google Voice plugin because I'd paid for I t with my Galaxy Nexus. I may try uninstalling it for now to see if that fixes it.

I'm trying to correct the typo and say "un-rooted" instead of uprooted and I just keep replying to myself. Sheesh.

Vol down button + power button to screenshot:good: press them for about 2 sec or it doesn't work.
I decided to return to factory state and start over. No reboots for the last two nights. I'll add apps back slowly.

Tough loss. Now go buy a 6p
Not saying that it didn't happen like that, but that's waaay to coincidental for me to grab from a person's first post.
There's more to that story.
Jus sayin
